    Thinking about buying a steamer...opinions please

    The best cheap steamer is the McCullough MC1275. It does a fine job in the interior. It not a super-high pressure steamer, but it does have nice pressure for the $$. I paid 75.00 at HF using a 15% off coupon. IMHO, it's worth the money. I'm certain you could do more with a steamer that runs...

    polishing headlights

    I use both, depending on whether I have electric available. If there is electric available, I reach for the PC every time. Just remember you're working on plastic, so keep moving to keep heat down. A block makes your strokes more uniform, but the shape of headlight lenses usually preclude use...

    Dealing with New Car Orange Peel

    Orange peel is a texture, not a color. It resembles the texture of an orange peel. It's usually in the clear coat and will not affect the color at all.

    Whats a Chicago Rotary??

    I use my Chicago Rotary now to wash and dry my pads in a UPW. I paid $19.00 for it brand new at Harbor Freight last year and it was worth the $19.00 to learn rotary on it. That being said, there is a world of difference in quality between my Makita and the Chicago. Particularly in the speed...

    Review: DoDo Juice Time To Dry

    Hi Emile, I agree, at least when you divide 16.99 by 8.45 oz. But, to be fair, the sprayer on the Red Mist is so stingy that I used very little to QD my vehicle. So little, in fact, that if I looked at the level of liquid left in this bottle that I just used, I would assume that this is an...

    Review: DoDo Juice Time To Dry

    Ha! I posted on another forum and someone there also mentioned the "Autopian" reference too. Geekian standards? I dunno. We are Geekites though. I just rinsed the vehicle tonight with hose only to remove the slight fuzzy coat of pollen before I go to work. I used the Spray pattern on the hose...

    Review: DoDo Juice Red Mist "Tropical" Detailer

    This is Dodo Juice Red Mist “Tropical” Protection Detailer. I won it in a giveaway by AutoGeek, so I thought the least I could do is review it. If you read my other review on DoDo Juice Time To Dry, you’ll know a few things about me. One, I’m a Frugal Detailer. Two, although I really...

    Review: DoDo Juice Time To Dry

    That's a difficult question to answer on a few levels. There are QD's with Carnauba, QD's with sealant, QD's with silicone, QD's with alcohol, plain QD's, and QD's with who-knows-what in them or not in them. That being said, I've never used a QD for a drying aid. :) I never even considered a...

    Review: DoDo Juice Time To Dry

    Recently I won a giveaway of Dodo Juice products by Autogeek, so I thought I should give a review of said products. Although I really, really appreciate the free products, I will give a totally unbiased review of the products. After all, I do "neutral and detached" for a living! :) First, let...

    Stubborn Tree Sap

    That's what I use. You'll have to re-LSP that spot afterwards though. Also, depends on what tree the sap came from. I know the alcohol works well on Pine sap.

    P21S Total Auto Wash vs. S100 Total Cycle Cleaner

    From what I've read, they're the same product. I have read the above opinion in many different posts, however, I have no personal experience with either product.

    Duragloss 111 & 601

    601 is supposed to increase durability of the LSP, but certainly you can use 111 without first applying 601.

    Optimum polish consistency

    Thanks Craig. Good info. Your description of the shaking made me laugh, it's so true. So basically, we're not sure whether we have the new formula version of the old formula, or the new OP II. Strange situation. As long as it works, I guess. :)
